Hang on, you mean I was close even though I was mainly just hamming it up?

DAMMIT, I'm off to buy some real tyres then.

The day would not have been the same if you had been too serious and trying to punch out times:)

Thanks to all who helped in organising the weekend! I think it's safe to say that everyone that competed (and spectated) had a ripper of a day!!!

On a sadder note..... The STi did beat the TX5.... Damn you Aaron and your seemingly bottomless pit of money!!! :chairshot

Who would have thought that a 1.4 ltr Margarita would cause a man to want to climb the highest object around..... Go the X-trail! hope they haven't noticed the hot water marks :confused:

Also a thanks to the other club that came along, it was great!!!

Perhaps i should have read the Supp Regs a little closer...i thought there was a prize for "Car most likely to blow up" , i would have been in there with a chance along with Shiv, the wonderful sound of ignition cuts at +8,000rpm:)

TEH TELSTAR CAN NEVAR LOOOOOOOSE! hahaha, there are a few fangers who are now getting a serve cos your times were better than theirs :P

bottomless pit of money? Man, I wish - if that were the case I'd have a stronger box, LSD's, a 2.4 litre stroker and an HKS GT2835!

With that said, I guess there are benefits to being in the parts import game :D

You did well man, you just gotta sort out some decent tyres before you come to Winton, so you can get your wang out and shake it all about :(

I already know I was the slowest out of everyone :uh-huh:

Nah mang it twas i!!

I cbf doint the short track fast, nor the motorkaha, i was just having a ball hanging the Camry coupe sideways on the pan that concentrating on times.

heheh

weeeeee

Dave and Marky: Speed and accuracy are for showoffs like Snowy :(

Your 'form over function' approach was certainly enjoyable to watch - and the super taxi was GREAT FUN to throw around!

Thanks again Dave, and thanks to ah... your tyre supplier! :D

Yes the top players were great to see, but the day was made so much more enjoyable by the likes of you guys - and of course Pete's KnightRider reverse-turns - hamming it up and having fun. That's what it's all about :P

I MADE IT HOME!!!!!!

well eventually... after dying 45km's outta melb and waiting for a towie (thanks jack for organising it) i finally got home around 9:30pm (left at like 5:30) hehehe

gonna be a VERY expensive trip to Race Pace now... but meh. I dont give a rats arse

Was definately worth every second that i missed sleep.

Hope no-one has any food posioning from the BBQ or anything nasty :D

Hats off to everyone that got their asses outta be and up there on friday or Sat.

Andrew/Chris to effort for making the day brilliant for everyone

Hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves so much that the next DECA day will be even better :P

Ok - final results.

Unfortunately the GT-R can apparently lose.

Congrats to Blaise for a fine performance all day long. But pretty close in the end with 3 cars covered by 3.4s after 9 events.

errrr... how the hell did craig moor (number 36) get timed, he was the one with the VIP lexus :D and he only got to DECA at lunchbreak

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
